Digitmovies is pleased to release the complete edition CD of the OST by Riz Ortolani for the film "The Inquiry" (original title "L'inchiesta").
SOUNDTRACK:
Riz Ortolani (March 25th, 1926, Pesaro - January 23rd, 2014, Rome) was author of hundreds of soundtracks for cinema and television and composed an evocative musical score for this film. Four selections were published by Cinevox on the album "The soundtracks of Riz Ortolani for the film "The Inquiry" by Damiano Damiani " (CIA - 5063). After finding the stereo master tapes from the original recording session, it was possible to assemble a CD of 48:18 minutes. Maestro Ortolani with his great talent was able to represent both the sacred and the profane of the story, with romantic and nostalgic pieces, mystical Jewish moods of great emotional intensity and dramatic battle songs. This is an OST that absolutely deserved to be rescued and preserved for the record archive, dedicated to one of the biggest names in film music. This OST won the Silver Ribbon in 1987.

Taurus interrogates Pilate who attempts to put an end the investigation by simulating how the body was found. However, Taurus realizes he is being deceived and that the body is not that of Jesus.
